In this exhibition, painter and installation artist Caleb Duarte Pinon invites performance artist Mia Eve Rollow from Chicago Illinois, and video artist Judy Stone, professor of sculpture at the University of Maryland, to collaborate in a one-night performance and installation piece that commissions five local men as human figures who lift a large cement floor balancing Mia Eve Rollow. In response, Mia Rollow and Judy Stone join forces with local resident Francisco Hildalgo Diaz to project a series of actions that confer the release and transfer of tension and conflict through simple energy exercises.

Architectural structures and the human figure are at once trapped in a moment of friction, tension, and failure-each looking for definitions, places or goals to be reached. With intensified actions of meaningless labor and struggle alongside a projection of simple natural acts of breathing, these three artists explore how the natural forces of balance, compression, tension and expansion can be amplified beyond aesthetic value into local, social and political spheres.
